Workflow

This application manages the invoices as plain html files, named by the invoice id. To turn the html file into a pdf just use the browsers print functionality. All the data corresponding to the invoices is stored inside a json file, which is configured with the key paths.datastore. The json you can edit as you like, via the gui it is only possible to change the 'Paid At' value. This value is also used to determine if in invoice is indeed 'Paid' or 'Unpaid'.
